I had one a couple of years ago-- it got in the conservatory so I put a jar over it and googled it , the one I had turned out to be docile and only stung if really agitated so i let it go

Hi Bamboo .. well it has colouring like a wasp & it hums louder than other wasps .. so what do you think it is? We have loads of them feeding on this plant along with normal wasps & bees?

if you go to the natural history website ( or access it by googling ' giant wasp') theres very good info saying it a european hornet and docile

I'd say it was a hornet as well - scary though, wouldn't want that blundering into me...
